Hi again,
Thank you Jack and Antoine for your suggestions. Still running into trouble....
I tried this manner of installing pd 46.6 again:
$ sudo apt-get update seemed to work fine.
when running: $ sudo apt-get build-dep puredata
I get: reading... done buidling depend... done reading state.... done E: You must put some 'source' URIs in your sources.list
then when I try to run: $ autogen.sh
I get: autoreconf: (12 of these) then configure.in.:104: error: possibly undefined macro: ACLIBTOOL_WIN32_DLL If this token and others are legitimate, please use m4_pattern_allow. See the Autoconf documentation
configure.in:105: error: possibly undefined macro: AC_PROG_LIBTOOL autoreconf: /usr/bin/autoconf failed with exit status: 1
Yes, now you need libtool. Try something like : $ sudo apt-get update $ sudo apt-get build-dep puredata and try to re-compile. Or you can follow instructions given by Antoine. ++
